“I’ve always been inspired by iconic American homes, and my wife Dee and
I enjoy finding great art and cool vintage pieces to create an eclectic
vibe,” said Tommy Hilfiger. “I had a lot of fun combining those
inspirations with my love of design to create the new Tommy Hilfiger
home line. LF USA is a strong, global partner and I am excited to be
working together on this line. Our home collections embrace a unique
take on the preppy lifestyle and all-American tradition. Every piece
reflects the classic, American, cool spirit at the heart of the Tommy
Hilfiger brand.”
Celebrating the brand’s preppy heritage, the Spring 2014 collection will
launch with bedding, bath, table top décor, and decorative accessories,
and will be followed by an expanded Fall 2014 line that will also
include furniture and rugs. Featuring the brand’s heritage red, white
and blue aesthetic, the summer collection calls to mind the laid back
vibe of California beach life, representing the Tommy Hilfiger brand’s
love of blending East Coast heritage with West Coast cool.
“LF USA is a category leader in the home décor market,” said Anne
Marino, President of Licensing for Tommy Hilfiger. “Their strong
reputation in design and sourcing makes LF USA the perfect partner as we
continue to develop a greater product range and distribution strategy
for our home line. We are looking forward to a successful relationship
with their team.”
“The Tommy Hilfiger brand translates perfectly to the home market
and we look forward to the opportunity to combine our experience with
the creativity and imagination of the Tommy Hilfiger team,” said Dow
Famulak, President of LF USA. “We are leveraging Tommy Hilfiger’s global
recognition and continued momentum to create a truly iconic
international home collection."
